Berbere

Spices, Herbs and Seasonings

Berbere is an Ethiopian spice mixture whose typical ingredients include chili peppers, coriander, garlic, ginger, Ethiopian holy basil seeds known as besobela, korarima, rue, ajwain or radhuni, nigella and fenugreek; the term can also refer to chili pepper on its own. It is a key ingredient in the cuisines of Ethiopia and Eritrea, and blends sometimes include lesser-known herbs and plants that grow wild in Ethiopian regions, such as korarima.
